<P>Why don't we round up everyone in the town, make up a bunch of signs saying Jemalville, and demonstrate in front of the Town Center screaming these buildings have been vacant for 20+ years and we've had enough. Then make arrangements for the Washington Post to interview some of us while we are demonstrating. Maybe we could even get some coverage on News 4. We did it with the Field of Dreams, we can do it now. How about some volunteers?</P>

Vacan is vacant. Dressing up buildings is not going to make it go away. We
don't have to tolerate vacant if we don't want to. Those buildings have
been vacant for so long, they go unnoticed. I assure you this would not
occur in College Park.
Recall the episode with the Field of Dreams. We as citizens can make things
happen.
